WhatsApp is present in half of the divorces in Italy
Fame precedes the Italians but the data is the data. And this is confirmed by the Association of Matrimonial Lawyers of Italy when indicating that the messaging application WhatsAppis present in almost half of the divorce cases in this country Something that will surprise many and not surprise others. A messaging tool that has not only been introduced and blended into today's society, but is also managing to transform habits and relationships.Whether for better or worse is something that everyone has to decide for themselves.
According to this Italian association, at no time is it stated that the messaging application is the cause of said divorces. However, it is cited in trials as proofproof of infidelity, this being the main and real cause of divorce. And it seems that the messages of WhatsApp are the best alarm and test to uncover infidelity or deceitBeyond the classic lipstick on the shirt, telephone bills or perfume. The new technologies also have a lot to do with the oldest problems of humanity and its low instincts.
The President of this association of lawyers, Gian Ettore Gassaniensures that the most common situations that lead to these cases are those in which the couple forgets the terminal when they go to shower or go for a walk. It is at that moment when notifications of new messages received trigger the curiosity of the couple who ends up accediting the device or spying on these messagesto see its contents or where it came from. The curious thing is that, according to this same source, men tend to be hunted more frequently in this way than womenAlthough this does not mean that men are more unfaithful than women.
However, depending on the sex, the habit of using WhatsApp in infidelities is also different, although without being able to generalize In this way, men would tend to store the photos and videos of their infidelities to review them in another moment. For their part, women tend to view the image and delete it to avoid discoveryIssues that would not only be related to WhatsApp, but would have come along with the social networks such as Facebook or other communication tools such as Skype
All these facts make more sense in Italy, where divorce is a hard and long process for its citizens. And it is that, with the notable presence of the church, the spouses must face three years of legal battles, in addition to being forced to try to reconcile as long as they avoid breaking vows A process in which reliable proof such as a message from WhatsApp may help more than a vague suspicion.
In Spain, WhatsApp also begins to be very present in trials Evidence that must be presented with an expert opinion to prove its authenticity and that , in the Spanish case, is usually related to issues of Right to Privacy, and not so much in cases of divorce In any case, we must not forget that, in Spain, consulting the WhatsApp of another person (spying) is illegal , and directly violates the privacy of the user. Just like sharing other people's photographs and sexual content, even more so if it involves minors
